Mal_Fet 07/10/18 7:52:11 PM #53:	FrisbeeDude posted... Nobody at Arenanet is safe from the hand of Reddit. Were literally running the company now, theyre in fear of the very users they seek to consort with ... The moment a dev steps out of line or try to talk back to a player, guess what, theyll know we got their hands on their throat and we can squeeze any time we like. Lol she fucking insulted a customer who disagreed with a public tweet of hers. Imagine if a Starbucks employee yelled at a customer and called him a sexist because he suggested a better way to froth milk. Imagine if she later went on her social media account and blasted the guy for "telling her how to do her job" when all he did was politely offer input. Imagine then that a bunch of losers on a blogsite released two articles about this incident and said Starbucks was the unreasonable one for firing this obviously unhinged person. Prices response to his tweet was more aggressive than the situation called for, but Deroirs tweet doesnt exist in a vacuum. Prices anger is the result of a long history of men in gaming who try to explain the jobs of women in development to them, and makes perfect sense in that context. While Deroir may not have been the worst example of that trend, his tweet definitely exists in the proud tradition of male gamers talking down to the women who make their games. Prices response makes perfect sense in that context, and is the sort of social media venting that is hardly seen as scandalous in 2018. "If a man did something bad to you in the past, then it is reasonable to treat all men like shit" Just fuck off. --- Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. -George Orwell <cite>Mal_Fet posted [p:904847302] in ArenaNet&#...

Anyone else going to buy Guild Wars 2 and all the expansions after seeing how professional and effective ArenaNet is? GW2 is thoroughly mediocre If you like MMOs it's good enough but it doesnt do anything particularly interesting in that space That's perfectly fine, I just want to give ArenaNet money. I might even buy a few copies. If you wanna gift one, I wouldn't say no I, too, would accept a copy if he's looking to buy a round. --- http://steamcommunity.com/id/Esrac/wishlist/ <cite>Esrac posted [p:904850356] in ArenaNet&#...

Vyrulisse 07/10/18 8:46:58 PM #93:	One good thing came from the Buzzfeed article, this comment: Megan Fraser People don't seem to understand: Jessica's visceral reaction to anyone daring to say anything other than complete agreement with her didn't happen in a vacuum. She wasn't fired for this one incident. All one has to do is go through Jessica Price's history to see a type of douchey behavior and anger-filled hypocrisy and lashing out that spans years. She spends her whole time on social media decrying the very type of behavior she herself exhibits, and has no situational awareness to that fact. We're talking about a woman who cheered TotalBiscuit dying. We're talking about a woman who went on a crusade to try to shut down a charity that used gaming to raise money to feed the homeless because the owners of the club kept their group apolitical and wouldn't allow ultra-prog agenda driving that had nothing to do with their hobby by advertising some 3rd wave feminist convention. Think about that: She attacked a ==CHARITY==. We're talking about a woman that basically with every post insults somebody or denigrates the entire industry for harmless reasons she blows out of proportions. By any measure, she's an abjectly terrible human being. Her latest salvo was just the straw that broke the camel's back. She doesn't speak for all women, and she sure as hell doesn't speak for me. If anything, her diatribes and spewing of hatred just harms the very cause she claims to represent. She's a nasty, terrible, worthless person, and karma finally scored a point. Anybody who uninstalled Guild Wars as a result of this (all 4 of them amongst the entire player base), I'm sure this is a win for every other player. Because for all the talk she makes about toxicity in gaming, she's just about the most toxic thing in it herself. --- https://imgur.com/6VeX04D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7Gkh_9hyi8 <cite>Vyrulisse posted [p:904850423] in ArenaNet&#...
